Re: New 5e3 Style Build

The attention to detail is awesome.
Especially the front upper and lower narrow panels being let into the sides.

Imho, the Celestion Blue is Roquefort in a 5E3.

Re: Hide glue quantities for complete tolex-novice

Thanks for those tips, very useful - especially on the "open" time and temp.

Re: Hide glue quantities for complete tolex-novice

Thank you Billyz,
I'm looking at an el cheapo wide-neck baby bottle warmer that can be left on and held at 140°F or so.

Re: Bass amp idea

For 4 x KT88 bass use, I'm thinking 200W OT like the large Partridge iron in the old HiWatt PA amps. I'd like park a schematic here which I drew up a while back for Chief Mushroom Cloud. It is the 4 x KT77 Burman Pro 4000 bass amp from the late '70s. Huge custom iron and tone stacks that actually wo...

Very impressive, both inside and out.
It kind of looks like it has patina already, maybe that is dull colour of the sand-block 1k and the shade of the perf boards.
Beautiful and inspiring.
